@lincolnmediahq: 🚨 Gas prices are jumping across the U.S., and Rep. Tim Burchett says something doesn’t add up. Burchett points out the United States imports zero oil from Iran, questioning why prices at the pump are rising so quickly as the conflict escalates. His clip — where he says gas prices go up “like a rocket” but fall “with a parachute” — has gained tens of thousands of reactions online. Oil markets have surged since the U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran, with global crude climbing above $100 per barrel and U.S. gas prices rising sharply within days, according to energy market data and AAA. Even without direct imports from Iran, geopolitical tensions can push global prices higher. Burchett argues the pattern shows oil companies raising prices quickly while lowering them slowly — a dynamic critics have long debated during periods of volatility.
